kõrvallevi

Kõrvallevi is an Estonian term that translates to "side pipe" or "branch pipe." It refers to a smaller pipe that is connected to a larger main pipe, serving to divert or distribute a fluid or gas to a different location. This is a common concept in plumbing, heating systems, and industrial applications where a central supply needs to be branched out to multiple points of use or for different purposes.

The function of a kõrvallevi is to facilitate the flow of a substance away from the primary conduit. For example, in a heating system, a main pipe might carry hot water throughout a building, and several kõrvallevid would branch off to supply radiators in individual rooms. Similarly, in a water supply network, a main water line might have kõrvallevid leading to individual houses or other smaller distribution points. The design and material of a kõrvallevi depend on the specific application, including the pressure, temperature, and nature of the substance being transported. Proper installation is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure efficient flow.
